Ruotolo is coming off a successful world title defense, as he defeated Canadian rival Dante Leon at the recently concluded ONE Fight Night 31: Kongthoranee vs. Nong-O II on Prime Video.

After his fight, Ruotolo addressed the media. The 22-year-old said about his impending MMA debut in ONE:

"Very soon. Just working on some logistics side of things, but I can’t wait to scrap. I’m ready to go."
